Roses are red, violets are blue, rhyming is fun and funny, too.
In its final season, "How I Met Your Mother" is taking the gimmick episode to another level. The comedy is already known for its flashbacks (and flashforwards), musical episode, actual versions of fake websites, and a published copy of Barney's Playbook. Coming up next: an episode in rhyme!
"We just shot an episode where the entire thing is in rhyme. And it was so much fun," star Cobie Smulders told E! Online. "It's like every second line is a rhyme. It varies; you gotta watch it!"
Perhaps it will the episode when Barney and Robin marry. That would indeed be legen — wait for it — dary.
I actually just saw a short preview of this on the CBS website ... I gotta say, it doesn't seem terrible. I think it might have potential to be funny, or at least not a *complete* train wreck.
It's supposed to be a bedtime story for Marvin. Which makes a lot more sense than a random rhyming episode.
